The show starts off where we see Goth walk out to the arena with a championship belt in his hands. He stares at the people who are booing him as he grins and motions them to be quiet

Before we start to deliver the show, I want to deliver the promise of a new championship belt!! We will have several matches next week for people that will be wrestling for the Television championship belt at the next PPV in an Elimination Chamber Match!! The winners of these matches will be getting high numbers and the losers will get a low number and even having the chance to start off the match!!

The fans erupt after hearing this for the PPV for a new championship title to be won

Goth: All I got to say is, if you want it… come and get it!!!!

With that Goth walks to the back as the show is about to start

The scene opens up backstage in the locker room of Jason “The Sensation” Stevens, it, to put it simply, has been trashed and it looks like a hurricane has hit the room, the door opens and in steps Jason “The Sensation” Stevens who’s jaw drops when he sees the state of the room.

JS: What.....what the hell?! HEY! Do you know anything about this?

Jason asks the cameraman who shakes his head, he spots something on the ground, a small note, and picks it up, he reads it and he growls.

JS: MARTY! WHERE THE (beep) ARE YOU!!!?

Jason storms out and the camera zooms on the note which says “Guess Who’s Back you SOB! Signed Marty.

Texx: Great, it wasn’t a one of appearance at the PPV, well guys I hope Jason can focus as he’s in action next!

Vs.

The crowd at the Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California, are already edgy as they are ready for Asylum Wrestling Alliance's Insomnia to begin with the first match of the evening. They begin to chant for the show to start as Referee Hal Smith, and Ring Announcer Stormy Canyon, stand in the ring to await the arrival of the participants in the first match.

CROWD: START THE SHOW! START THE SHOW!! START THE SHOW!!!

Their chanting is cut off at SPEAK YOUR MIND by 12 Stones hits the speakers in the Arena. We watch as Matthew Toddi steps out from between the backstage curtains, walks under the TRON, and then he pauses at the top of the entrance ramp. As the crowd boos, Matthew pulls his hood over his head and as he throws his arms out to his side, red and white pyros erupt from above him and cascades sparks on both sides of him. After the pyros subside the crowd begins booing again as Matthew ignores them and walks down the entrance ramp to the ring. Toddi climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, ducks in to the ring through the ropes, and then he looks out at the fans and raises his arms in the air with his index finger and thumb up on one hand and just the index finger on the other hand. Matthew then removes his hoodie and pretends he is going to throw it into the crowd, but instead of doing that he hands it over the ropes to the Timekeeper.

TEX: We have a newcomer to Asylum Wrestling Alliance Duff. He's a young and good-looking kid. I hope he can wrestle as well as he looks.

DUFF: You are admiring men now? Ha ha ha!!! We cannot reveal the name of another Wrestling Federation but according to the information sheet I have in front of me, Matthew Toddi has held a title belt 20 times in that other Wrestling Federation, and the Hardcore Title 9 times. It is obvious this kid has a lot of experience.

STORMY CANYON: Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your first participant in this Monday Night Insomnia, and making his debut appearance in Asylum Wrestling Alliance, he is from Detroit, Michigan, standing 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 225 pounds, please welcome MATTHEW TODDI!!!

As soon as Matthew Toddi is announced by Stormy Canyon they erupt into a chorus of boos again. Their disrespect for the young wrestler is cut short as ROOM FOR ONE MORE by Anthrax hits the speakers of the Memorial Arena. Shortly after his entrance music starts we see Jason Stevens and his sister, Carrie, step out from the backstage area. They walk out under the TRON and stop at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp. Jason holds his sister's hand and they raise their arms up in the air to a mixed reaction. They lower their arms and the two walk down the ramp to the ring. When they get to the ring Jason helps Carrie up to the ring apron and then he quickly leaps up on the ring apron to assist Carrie getting into the ring. After Carrie has stepped through the ropes we watch as Jason hops over the ropes and into the ring. Stevens jumps up on the ropes in a corner and plays the crowd to a mixed reaction.

TEX: Jason Stevens really needs to pump his game up. He hasn't been performing well lately and I just don't know why. Last year he won the second highest award in Asylum Wrestling Alliance but for some reason he doesn't seem to be as focused as he used to be.

DUFF: Who knows? Maybe after winning the International Title he slacked. I think he is going to have his hands full with Matthew Toddi. I like Matthew and I think the kid has a great future here. Add to it that Stevens is giving up 6 inches of height and 50 pounds of weight and you may have a mis-match here.

TEX: Don't count your chickens before they are hatched Duff. Remember that Rey Mysterio has defeated Big Show and nearly defeated The Undertaker so just because a wrestler is smaller than another doesn't matter.

STORMY CANYON: Ladies and Gentlemen, our next participant in this opening match of Monday Night Insomnia, from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing 5 feet 7 inches, and weighing 175 pounds, please welcome JASON "THE SENSATION" STEVENS!!!

The crowd gives a mixed reaction, although a mostly favorable reaction, to the announcement of Jason Stevens. Referee Hal Smith calls Matthew and Jason to the center of the ring while Carrie exits the ring and takes a seat at ringside, in a folding metal chair, near the announcing table where Tex and Duff are calling the match. Hal Smith explains that this is a Standard Rules match which means no illegal holds or hits or maneuvers. This also means no weapons and no interference. Hal Smith explains to Matthew and Jason that he will give them three warnings for violations of the rules and if he has to give them a fourth warning the person receiving the fourth warning will be Disqualified. One last instruction Referee Smith gives them is that when he calls for a break, he wants them to break, or they will receive a warning. Hal Smith asks Matthew Toddi and Jason Stevens if they understand the rules of this match and both state that they do. Referee Smith asks the two to shake hands, then go into a corner, and await the bell to start the match. Matthew and Jason shake hands, go into opposite corners, and wait for Referee Hal Smith to call for the start of the match.

TEX: Wow! That is something we haven't seen for quite some time, two wrestlers shaking hands and then waiting for the official start of the match.

DUFF: I know, usually the wrestlers don't even wait for the bell before jumping on their opponent.

TEX: We need to remind the fans that this match is a Standard Rules match with a 15 minute time limit with the winner being the person who can get a pinfall, submission, or countout on the other.

Referee Hal Smith calls for the bell from the Timekeeper and the Timekeeper rings the bell and this match is officially underway. Matthew and Jason cautiously approach each other in the middle of the ring. They quickly lock up and jockey for position. Matthew releases his hold on Jason with one of his hand, while holding onto Stevens with his other. He takes his free arm and shoves Jason in the chest which drives Stevens back. As soon as Stevens it at arm's length on the arm that Matthew still has a hold on, Toddi pulls hard on Jason and drags Stevens toward him and catches him with a vicious clothesline. Stevens drops to the mat and Matthew immediately drops an elbow on the chest of Stevens. Jason rolls around on the ring and manages to roll out under the bottom rope and onto the arena floor. Referee Hal Smith pushes Matthew Toddi back and tells him to not interfere with his count on Jason Stevens or he will stop the count for every interruption.

TEX: That was a brilliant move on the part of Jason Stevens. You always try to find a way to break the momentum of your opponent whenever you have the chance.

DUFF: That wasn't brilliant Tex! Jason Stevens just happened to get lucky and roll out of the ring while he was gasping for breath after that elbow drop to the chest.

Referee Smith is counting on Stevens outside the ring. ONE...TWO... Jason walks around to get his bearings back while Carrie talks to him to help him figure out where he is at. THREE...FOUR... Matthew is being smart and holding back so he won't break the Referee's count. Stevens climbs the ring steps and steps up on the ring apron. FIVE...SIX... Toddi begins to approach and Jason demands to Referee Smith that he get Matthew back from the ropes so he can get back into the ring. Hal Smith stops counting and turns to push Matthew back from the ropes. Stevens quickly ducks through the ropes and then he leans back into the corner with his arms draped over the top ropes. Referee Smith steps out of the way and Matthew sees Jason Stevens in the corner so he runs toward him to land a shoulder into him but Jason dives out of the corner at the last moment and Matthew Toddi flies through the ropes and hit his shoulder on the ring post.

TEX: Advantage...Stevens!

DUFF: Damn! That shoulder gonna hurt Matthew big time!

Stevens walks to the corner and he drags Matthew out of the corner and stands him up against the turnbuckles. Matthew is on the ropes so Referee Smith tells Jason to break. Jason breaks for only a split second and then he lands a punch to the jaw of Matthew Toddi. Referee Smith issues the first warning to Jason Stevens. Jason then punches Matthew in the jaw again but he is surprised when Matthew returns the punch. The two are trading punches while Referee Hal Smith gets between them and gives them both a warning, the second to Jason Stevens and the first to Matthew Toddi. Referee Smith separates the two wrestlers and then he gives them the signal to keep wrestling. The two lock up but Jason quickly spins out of it and places Matthew into a hammerlock and applies pressure so that Matthew's shoulder which he hit in the corner is hurting like hell. Toddi kicks his feet out from under him and this causes him to drop to the mat and Jason Stevens drops down on top of him slamming his jaw on top of Matthew's head. Matthew is lying on the mat massaging his shoulder while Jason is lying on the mat massaging his jaw. The two wrestlers manage to get to their feet and this time it is Jason Stevens who releases the hold and drops into a leg sweep knocking Matthew off his feet. Toddi falls to the mat face first and Jason quickly ties up his legs and pulls back hard on his legs. Matthew reaches out and grabs the bottom rope and Referee Hal Smith asks for a break and Jason Stevens breaks the hold. Stevens stands up and waits for Matthew to get to his feet. Once Matthew is on his feet Jason lands a drop kick which drives Matthew into the ropes. Jason goes for a clothesline on the rebound but Matthew ducks the clothesline and as Jason turns around Matthew catches him quickly with a DDT, driving Jason hard into the mat. Matthew rolls Stevens over and goes for the pin. Referee Smith drops into position for the count. ONE…TWO… but Jason Stevens gets a shoulder up in time. Matthew drags Jason to his feet and picks him up and body slams him to the mat. Matthew then climbs the corner ropes and gets to the top rope. He leaps off the top rope and flies into the air to drop a splash on Stevens. Jason is able to roll out of the way and Matthew flops hard on the mat. Jason manages to get over and he gets Matthew into a pinning combination as Hal Smith makes the count. ONE…TWO… and NO! Matthew kicks out at a two count and the match continues.

TEX: I surely thought Jason Stevens had Matthew Toddi that time!

DUFF: I feel it is still too early for either wrestler to get a clean victory unless they manage to get a really great maneuver executed.

Matthew rolls out of the ring to break the momentum of Jason. Referee Smith starts counting on Matthew while trying to keep Stevens back. ONE... Stevens stays back and watches as Toddi walks around the ring. TWO... Matthew passes Carrie and she doesn't get up from her chair because she knows Referee Hal Smith would disqualify Jason if she were to get up and appear to get involved in the match. THREE... Matthew looks up into the ring at Stevens and then he continues walking around to cool Jason off a bit. FOUR... Stevens is getting frustrated that Matthew hasn't returned to the ring so he rushes the ropes causing Hal Smith to stop his count on Matthew Toddi. Smith tries to push Stevens back but Jason jumps out of the ring to go after Matthew. He sees Stevens coming out of the ring so Toddi runs ahead of him and slides into the ring. Jason Stevens is right behind him but as soon as Jason tries to get into the ring under the bottom rope, Matthew hits him with a baseball slide which knocks Stevens back to the arena floor. Referee Smith gives a second warning to Matthew for hitting Stevens illegally.

TEX: Well there ya go, another illegal maneuver by Matthew Toddi. Now he has his second warning so he needs to watch out because he is only allowed one more warning and after he gets a third warning he will be disqualified on the fourth one.

DUFF: You are so biased. Jason Stevens also has two warnings so he is also in a position where he has to watch what he is doing from here out or he will also get disqualified.

Matthew holds back after receiving his second warning from Referee Hal Smith. This gives Jason Stevens the opportunity to get up on the ring apron to get back into the ring. Jason is standing on the ring apron trying to get Hal Smith to keep Matthew Toddi back. Hal Smith turns around to ensure Matthew is staying back but Matthew rushes past him to attack Jason who is still on the outside of the ring. Jason sees him coming and he head butts Matthew Toddi in the midsection and this stops Matthew in his tracks. Referee Smith gives both wrestlers their third warning for executing maneuvers on someone outside the ring and from outside the ring. If either of them receives a fourth warning they will be disqualified so both will have to watch what they are doing now. Jason jumps into the ring and he attempt to roll up Matthew for the pin. Hal Smith begins the count on the pinfall. ONE... but Toddi gets a shoulder up to break the count. Stevens drags Matthew to his feet and body slams him to the mat. He picks Toddi up and body slams him again. Seeing Matthew down on the mat, Jason runs into the corner, mounts the top turnbuckle, and he is going for a high-flying move on Matthew. Jason leaps off the top turnbuckle and flies high in the air to land a smash on Matthew. Just before Jason can land on him, Matthew rolls out of the way and Jason Stevens lands on his feet as he saw what has happened just on time. He awaits Matthew to get to his feet and then runs towards him for a cross body block. Just as Toddi turns around he gets nailed by a flying body block and both men fall hard on the concrete as both men are spend on the outside as the referee starts to use the ten count.

TEX: Nooooooo! Don’t let to end it this way!!

DUFF: Well, Tex, I have to say that was one hell of a debut performance on the part of Matthew! But it wasn’t enough!!

The referee counts to ten and calls for the bell as the fans are booing the outcome after witnessing such a great match

STORMY CANYON: Here is the outcome of the match as neither men were capable to get back to the ring on time. This match has ended up in a draw!!!

Winner: Draw

Bill Barnhart is in his office working on Asylum Wrestling Alliance paperwork so that the wrestlers can get paid by Chief Financial Officer (CFO) John Irons tonight. Barnhart finishes his paperwork and he puts all the paperwork into a box and leaves it on the corner of his desk as John Irons told him he would have someone stop by the office to pick the box up and deliver it to him. As Bill opens the door to his office, so he can leave and go to his dressing room to get dressed for his match with Ronin, he sees Asylum Wrestling Alliance Owner Goth standing there. Goth has his arms folded across his chest and his foot is tapping the floor. Bill takes a step back when he sees Goth in the doorway.

BULLDOG BILL: Don’t scare me like that man! With all the attacks on us that happened recently I don’t need someone standing in my doorway so when I open the door I think it is another person trying to attack us in The Family Stable.

GOTH: Enough small talk Bill. Last week at the Pay-per-View I told you I wanted you to get a key made for that briefcase and give me the contents of that briefcase to me before the end of the show. You never came back to me with the briefcase, the key, and the contents. What’s up with that? Give them to me now.

BULLDOG BILL: I am sorry Boss, but I honestly cannot do that.

GOTH: And please tell me why you cannot do that Bill?

BULLDOG BILL: Because while I was out doing my match with Canis, someone broke into my office and stole the briefcase. So, without having a briefcase anymore I could not get a key made, and without getting a key made I could not open the briefcase, and even if I had a key made, I could not open a non-existent briefcase right?

GOTH: Good grief! Have you reported it to anyone?

BULLDOG BILL: Of course I did Goth. I told John Irons because he is the Chief Financial Officer and the paperwork concerned the finances of Asylum Wrestling Alliance. He told me not to worry about it and that he is running a thorough investigation. I am very sorry but next time I will ensure that after I leave my office and lock the door, which by the way I did lock my office door last week, that I will have a Security Guard stand outside the door until I return to my office. I cannot change what already happened.

GOTH: Bill, what am I going to do with you? Oh well, I can’t change what happened either but you damn sure better not let anything like this happen again. Understand?

BULLDOG BILL: Yes.

Goth turns and walks away down the hallway toward his office. Bill watches until Goth turns the corner and is out of sight and then he leans against the door frame and wipes the sweat off his forehead and he lets out a sigh of relief.

Alone Chaplin hobbles down to the ring as quickly as his limping legs can carry him, the Authority Director of the AWA had some important news, and in his hand he carried a hat, one of those tall cat in the hat style hats that was in style during the nineties.

Duff: What is Chaplin doing out here with out Hank Henry?

Tex: He is the Authority director he can do whatever he wants.

Duff: But that doesn’t mean anything! Tex: Try telling him that.

Chaplin asks ring crew worker for a microphone and before he knows it a microphone is in his hand.

Chaplin: Well now damn feels greats to be out here on my own. As some of you might have heard, there is a new Sheriff in town, and by Sheriff I mean Authority Director, and person is me. The only unbiased person in the in the AWA, I don’t play sides, I have no family other than my mother, and I did all my rebelling during my teens, I Chaplin R Graves is here to fix the AWA, and I am going to start that right now, what I have in this hat hear is the names of every member of the AWA, and I am going to draw eight names, those eight names will form four tag teams and those four tag teams will compete in a round robin tournament to decide who will be the first TEAM AWESOME tag team Champions.

Chaplin reaches into the hat, when Bill The Bulldog Barnhart’s music hits, and the cocky bastard comes out hold a mic of his own.

Bill: Hold up there Chaps,

Bill says making his way down to the ring, talking while he walks.

Bill: You might go around calling yourself the Director of Authority.

Bill gets in the ring.

Chaplin: That is Authority Director Mr. Barnhart. And Don’ call me Chaps, I am professional and I will be treated like one, it is Mr. Graves to you.

Bill: Well Mr. Graves I out rank you, and you can not do this unless I say so.

Chaplin: Well Mr. Barnhart what do you feel about the TEAM AWESOME Tournament?

So Bill takes a few seconds to think about it.

Bill: I like it, I am going to tell you what Chaps, I mean Mr. Graves I like the idea, I am going to give you thumbs on it.

Bill gives Chaplin a thumbs up. :

Bill: Go ahead and draw that first name.

And Chaplin does, he even gets to read the name, and you can tell by the look in his eyes that he is gleeful. Then Seek and Destroy explodes on PA, the crowd erupts.

John Irons makes his way to the ring and takes the mic from Chaplin.

John: You forget one thing Bill, you don’t have the authority either to direct this thing. There are only a few assholes that can okay this thing, and you are not one of them.

Being surprisingly quick for a cripple Chaplin takes Bill’s mic.

Chaplin: Do not get involved here John,

John: It’s Mr. Irons, Mr. Graves.

Chaplin: This let me do my thing Mr. Irons, as the Authority Director of the AWA I think this is the best thing we can do.

John: As the Authority Director of the AWA your word means nothing.

Bill: Try telling him that.

John just glares at Bill.

John: Shut up.

The n he looks back at Chaplin.

John: You really want to do this Chaplin?

And Chaplin nods.

John: Fine, draw the names lets see what you come up with.

Chaplin: Okay then, I already know the first name and its Big Bad Casey, good for him.

Chaplin Reaches into the hat and pulls out another name, shakes his head.

Chaplin: And he will be teaming with Mr. X! Okay now let’s find out who else is going to be in this thing.

A hand goes into the bag, a piece of Paper comes up,

Chaplin: Well it looks like Ronin is going to be teaming with…

Another dip to the hat,

Chaplin: Fang! Did not see that one coming, so yeah okay two teams down, two to go, lets see what the fates have to offer!

Spin the wheel make a deal, no what I got that wrong, put hand into hat.

Chaplin: Well Chase Tomlin, you are going to be teaming with…

Chaplin digs around in the hat.

Chaplin: HANK HENRY THE THIRD! One more team to go. This is exciting.

Back to the hat.

Chaplin: Now it looks like Andy Martindale… is going to team with… Really can one of you two make a drum roll sound. Both Bill and John stand there.

Chaplin: I guess not, ah to hell with it, Andy will be teaming with!

The last name is drawn. Chaplin: Bill Barnhart! Bill: I am not teaming with anybody named Andy, there is something about that name I do not trust.

John: Too late Bill, you are in for a then you in for pound. You happy with this Chaplin? /

Chaplin: As Happy as I can be.

And it was just that easy, the TEAM AWSOME tournament was made, and an Authority Director directed authority like one should.

Tex: Duff, four wrestlers will be testing their skills against each other in a Fatal-Four Way match!

Duff: Are you kidding me? I already know who is going to win this one!

Tex: And who might that be, Duff?

Duff: Why Fang, of course! He’s the best out of all three!

Tex: Not if Dimitri, Chaos, and Hank Henry III have anything to say about that, Duff!

The camera pans all over the arena as the fans continue to go nuts for the show. The next shot cuts into Stormy Canyon, who is standing in the middle of the ring, as she speaks into the microphone as the noise from the fans dies down to hear hers.

Stormy: This match is scheduled for one fall and it is a Fatal-Four Way match! The first wrestler to score the first and final pinfall against one of his three opponents is determined the winner of the match! Introducing the first of four opponents, from Long Pond, PA, weighing at 220 lbs, he is the self-proclaimed Wolf God – FANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

The arena goes dark. A beat starts in the background followed by Rhinanna beginning to sing the beginning of “Run This Town” Red and blue strobes like police lights begin to go off as a form rises from underneath the stage. Jay-Z’s part begins and a spotlight shines on the figure at it shows to be Fang. He is standing in the light in a Black Armani suit. His head is bowed as the music plays. He then looks up as he is joined in the entrance way of the stage by Big Vic Gillot. The two men walk down to the ring The strobes still going off. More men in black suits walk behind the Man in Black. They surround the ring as he gets in. The lights go back to normal as the music fades. Fang takes off the suit jacket to reveal a white tshirt underneath. He folds the jacket and hands it to Vic. Fang nods to Vic and the men around the ring and they walk backstage as he waits for his opponent.

Stormy: Introducing the second of four opponents, from Moscow, weighing at 275 lbs……DIMITRI!!!!!!!!!!!

Vampiria's Legacy in Blood hits as the arena goes black and the Titan Tron slowly starts to drip blood until the name of Dmitri appears. Dmitri slowly walks out to the ring with his manager walks in front of him. He does not concern himself for the people that are either exchanging their hands to touch him or to throw their drinks at him. As the two enter the ring his manager opens the ropes for him and allows Dmitri to get in and stare at the people in front of him.

Stormy: Introducing the third of four opponents, from Ellis, New York, weighing at 248 lbs…..HANK HENRY III!!!!!!!!

Hank Henry comes out with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match, if the mood suits them one of them play to the crowd. Sometimes he wears a cowboy hat. As Chaplin takes his place outside of the ring, Hank Henry steps into the ring and walks into his corner, trading eye locks between Dimitri and Fang, who stare back at him and each other as they wait for their fourth opponent.

Stormy: And introducing the fourth and final opponent, from Orlando, FL, weighing at 275 lbs, he is the self-proclaimed “Monster” and “The Wrestling Machine”…..CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights in the arena go dark and suddenly AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long" hits over the PA and the lights from the stage burst into life as the lyrics quickly build to the chorus as Chaos makes his way out onto the stage, he raises his hands into the air as a barage of pyro shoots upwards from the stage sending the crowd into a frenzy, Chaos continues to walk down to the ring and up the stairs, climbs into the ring and jumps to the second rope, raising his hands once more as another set of pyro shoots down from the arena roof behind Chaos, he jumps down as the music fades and he is ready to get down to business!

Tex: Now that all four men are in the ring, the referee is checking each one of them, just to make sure that they have nothing illegal on them.

Duff: Does it really matter, Tex?? Fang is going to beat the crap out of them and show that The Family aren’t to be messed with anymore! Ha ha!

Tex: Will you shut up about that? Just help me out and call the darn match, would you please?

Duff: Oh trust me, Tex, I got your back, but you can’t stop me from cheering Fang for victory! Go Fang Go!

Tex: Duff, what in the world am I going to do with you?

As soon as the bell ring, Hank Henry immediately charges at Dimitri and takes him out with a clothesline. Dimitri didn’t see the clothesline coming, since he was focused on Fang at first and then turned just in time to receive the hit as Dimitri flipped over the ropes and landed on the concrete floor outside of the ring, with Hank Henry III following suit and kicking him in the ribs. Chaos and Fang start their little war by beginning to exchange punches, neither getting the advantage, but Fang knees Chaos in the stomach and brings him over to the lower left turnbuckle to smash his face in. But Chaos blocks the attempt when Fang tries to and counters with an elbow smash into Fang’s instead, then follows it up with a wild haymaker that came out of nowhere, forcing Fang to step back even further. Hank Henry III kicks Dimitri in the ribs a few times and then picks him and tries to Irish whip him into the nearby post, but Dimitri reverses it and Hank Henry III feels his head crash into it instead and falls onto the ground, breathing harshly. Dimitri turns around to see Fang scoop up Chaos as he goes for a clothesline and power slams him to the mat and immediately slides into the ring as Fang goes for the first pin of the match. But Dimitri rushes over and plants an elbow smash into the back of Fang’s neck, dropping the count at two. Dimitri picks up Fang and headbutts him in the face, Fang falling to the mat and clutching at his face, but then feels a staggering amount of pain jolting through his left leg from a back kick provided by Chaos, who tries to suppress the big man with a choke from behind. Dimitri quickly feels the pressure around his throat and it seems like he’s about to give in. Then it is Chaos’s turn to scream with rage as he feels his neck being stabbed by Hank Henry III and lets go. Hank is back in the ring now, after throwing the fork back to Chaplin, who catches the safe end of the fork and putting it back into his coat. Dimitri’s on the mat, regaining his breath, as Chaos holds his neck and staggers backward into Hank’s arms, which goes around his opponent’s waist, and he hoists him up in the air, only to slam him down with a german suplex! Hank isn’t given time to recover to breathe as Fang rushes in from behind with an axe handle smash. Hank propels forward, but then turns around and receives a kick into the stomach before becoming the victim of a backbreaker. Fang goes for another pin, but Dimitri pulls Fang away from Hank by the legs. Fang turns him around and tries to kick him away, but Dimitri holds his back, then leans back and catapults Fang into the upper-right corner of the ring, his face receiving the blow. Fang is dizzy and staggers around for a bit before earning a big boot by Dimitri for his troubles. The vampire goes for a cover, but Chaos breaks it up at the count of two with a kick to the back of Dimitri. Tex: This is a fast-paced match so far, Duff, and no one is willing to give each other an inch during the match here.

Duff: Chaos and Dimitri are mixing it up now and Hank is not happy with Fang and goes to work against him. It just never ends! Fang’s still gonna win though, Tex, I just know it!

Tex: Actually, Duff, anything is possible out there. There’s no way to know who is going to win. In a match like that, one should not discount anything!

On both the upper left and lower-right corners of the ring, Chaos and Dimitri are trading back and forth punches, but Chaos assaults him with a combo of his own while Hank goes downtown with Fang, Fang doing his best to successfully his punches and kicks, but some manage to go through. Then Chaos and Hank try to Irish whip their opponents into each other, but both Dimitri and Fang reverse it and both Chaos and Hank crash into each other with a clothsline, both of them crashing to the mat, unable to move for the time being. Chaos and Hank roll away in different directions as Dimitri and Fang exchange some quick punches, but Dimitri tackles Fang’s legs and shakes him up with a spinbuster out of nowhere. As Fang rolls out of the way, Chaos stands behind him as Dimitri admires his work before turning around him and receiving a kick to the gut before Chaos lifts him up and HITS THE ANNHILATOR! Chaos goes for the cover and the referee counts it! 1….2….but Hank kicks Chaos in the ribs and Chaos gets off him quickly. Chaos tries to get back on his feet, but quickly gets shot down by Hank with some strong kicks to the leg, weakening him enough to where he scoops him up and The Proletariat Lariat is executed flawlessly, Chaos not moving at all! 1…..2…….BUT DIMITRI SAVES THE MATCH with a kick directly into Hank’s face! Hank lets go of Chaos and gets back on his feet, but is temporary stunned by his kick, which then enables Dimitri to unleash his own finisher, THE BITE OF DEATH!!!!!! The crowd go nuts at the sight of the finisher and Dimitri takes a look, making sure that neither of them are moving, then quickly goes for the pin, hooking the leg. 1……2……but CHAOS SOMEHOW GOT THE SHOULDER UP! Dimitri is very angry at the referee and he quickly stands up as the two argue about the count, Dimitri telling the ref to count faster while the referee stubbornly shakes his head and tells him that he did his job just fine. In an single instant however, the crowd goes from cheers to boos as we see Fang back in action, just standing in place, waiting for Dimitri to turn around and receive his punishment and Dimitri finally ignores the referee and dismisses him. He hears the crowd booing for the first time and turns around, Fang kicking him in the gut and delivering THE FATAL SHOT!!!!!!!!! Fang laughs mischievously as he goes for the cover as Chaos is trying to get to get back up, but Hank somehow rolled out of the inside and is back up on his feet, grabbing Chaos’s legs with his long reach and pulls him out of the ring and the two are slugging it out a bit, distracted by each other as Fang waits for the referee to do his job. 1…..2……3! Both of the combatants stop as soon as they see what’s going on and slide back in as Fang quickly gets out of the ring and starts heading up the ramp, pointing at then and laughing as Dimitri is laid out in the ring, motionless.

Stormy: Here is your winner – FANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duff: See, Tex, what did I tell you? I knew that Fang would do it in the end!

Tex: No, Duff, he basically used everyone to destroy everyone else, then finished the job and stole the win! He stole the win for The Family!

Duff: Yeah, well, there’s nothing the referee can do about it, because Fang walked away with the win clean!

Fang walks up the ramp with his hands and arms raised in the air, smirking and laughing all the way as Chaos and Hank are completely disappointed about their performance as Dimitri looks into Fang’s eyes with rage as the scene slowly fades away into a commercial.

Winner:

The camera opens to Bael standing with Jade Green in front of an AWA logo back drop. His arm is wrapped in a sling.

Green: I'm here with a now four time loser, due to the hands of our very own John Irons, Bael. Now Bael you are out this week do to a injury inflicted upon you at our last Pay Per View, Full Throttle. Any hopes of returning to the ring next week?

Bael: You know, unlike for you weak humans, demons can heal much quicker. So you bet your sweet as that I'll be back in the ring next week. Further more, I'm not done with John Irons. Now that I have his blood on my hands, I now know he is human and is able to be beaten. When I started in this organization a month ago, I told everyone I was going to turn this place upside down. And so far I got the ship a rockin. I...

Green: Look Out.

From behind, Madroxcide takes his NWA x division title and smashes it against Bael's head. He begins to beat Bael over and over until a crimson red begins to stain his title. The whole time Madroxcide is yelling “Keep the change you fucking bitch. You can't have this soul.” Then Sam and Dean Winchester holds Baels arms down to the ground. They begin to chant something in latin.

Madroxcide: You aint getting this soul, and to make sure... I hired Sam and Dean here to make you weak by misleading you in a match against John Irons. YOu truly think that Irons needed to screw a worthless piece of shit like you over? Guess what Bael, He doesn't. However, I would. That's right Bael I am the guy who has been filling the pockets of your opponantes. I Knew just how to get you right were I wanted you. Now... Now you are screwed. "He" has a big bounty on your head. I look at this as a win/win situation. "He" want's you back in hell and that's where I'm sending you.

Madroxcide grab a container of Salt that was sitting with in arms and and begins to pour the salt down Bael's throat. After a few moments Bael begins to cough. Madroxcide stops pouring the salt and then grabs a flask from his back pocket.

Madroxcide: See you in hell.

Madroxcide then begins to pour the flask of holy water down Bael's throat. Bael's eyes begin to glow a bright white and a cloude of black smoke begins to fly out of his mouth. The cloud stops pouring out of Baels now lifeless body. Jade cannot believe her eyes as she just saw an excesisem. Madroxcide begins to waves to Sam and Dean, urgering them to follow.

Madroxcide: Come on. Let's get out of here.

Both Sam and Dean get up and begin to follow Madroxcide. Madroxcide takes one more look at Bael's lifeless body and then kicks it in the head just before leaving the scene himself. Jade begins to yell for a medic as the scene fades to black.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled to be a Tables Match! Introducing first, hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 252 pounds... He is VIPER!!!

Motorcycle Revves up as Master of Puppets Intro start to play as song start out Walk Arson right hand in air in fist waving bandana and lock in air in Circle as he stands on Ramps as he walk down cracking his knuckes in his fist get half way down to the ring run slide in under the buttom rope then running back and forth on each rope.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 224 pounds... ANDY MARTINDALE!!!

Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" hits the PA as a pyro blasts up from centre stage. The arena lights begin to glow. The fans in the arena give a mixed reaction, some booing while others cheer as the man known as Andy "Maverick" Martindale appears from the entrance. He stops at the top of the ramp, looks at the crowd from left to right then runs down the ramp and then slides into ring under the bottom rope. He walks over to the corner of the ring, grabs the top rope and climbs to the second rope, raising his left arm. The lights return back to normal and the music starts to fade out as Maverick gets pumped up for his match

Before the timekeeper can ring the bell, Viper charges into Andy’s corner and nails him with a flurry of shots that sends him against the turnbuckle. He grabs him by the arm and whips him across the ring into the corner across from thDuff, then catches him with a big back body drop. The crowd boos as Viper smirks and when Andy goes to get up, knees him in the gut and then slaps him repeatedly in the face, yelling at him. He pulls him and whips him front first into the ropes, then catches him with a chop block to the back of his knee. Andy goes down onto that knee and Viper tucks his knee in back of Andy's head, then pulls back, stunning him as he falls into the mat. Sitting up, he sarcastically claps his hands together much to the dismay of the crowd who boos loudly.

Tex: Hot damn! Viper is coming out of the gate strong and Andy Martindale is really in dire straits here. This is the last thing he needed to happen.

Duff: Andy needed Viper coming at him strong like we need you to talk Tex!

Viper waits for Andy to get up and when he does, he smirks and goes to land a few shots at him, but Andy blocks it and sends some back at him to cheers. Andy nails a kick to his midsection and then a stiff series of shots to his jaw that send him stumbling back. Andy takes a step toward Viper as the crowd is getting behind him, but all of a sudden...

Tex: Superkick! Viper just delivered that kick and Andy Martindale is laid out!

Duff: Viper has come out of the gate strong, but he can’t pin him. He has to put through a table. That gives Andy some time to recuperate, at least.

Viper rolls out of the ring and grabs Andy by the leg. He pulls him out and then starts up the entrance aisle, literally dragging him behind him. Instead of going up the ramp, he goes off to the side of it and pulls Andy with him. Just as he enters the clearing where the production tables are, Andy springs to life and grabs him by the tights. Viper turns to look back at him and Andy jumps up and sends him head first into the side of the entrance ramp. He stumbles back and Andy belly to belly suplexes him onto the concrete floor. The fans pop and chant “Let’s go Andy” as he gets behind Viper when he gets up and nails a bulldog on him. Viper is dazed and checks his face for blood as he sets up slowly and Andy charges and nails a shining wizard. Andy gets up and then walks over to the guard rail separating the fans from the clearing they’re in and he grabs a chair from a fan sitting in the front row. Andy waits for Viper to get up and when he crawls over to the entrance ramp and tries to use it to pull himself up, he swings the chair and nails him right in the head, sandwiching it between the chair and the side of the ramp. Viper stumbles forward and Andy throws aside the chair and then charges, taking Viper through the side of the ramp with a vicious spear!

Tex: OH MY GOD, ANDY JUST SPEARED VIPER THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP! THEY JUST TUMBLED THROUGH THAT PLASTIC AND ONTO THE FLOOR UNDER THE RAMP ITSELF!

Duff: Now this match is breaking down into nothing short of an all out melee and I have to say, it’s what you had to expect coming into this. Andy is first up and he grabs Viper by the arm and pulls him out of the debris around them and over toward the tables. As Andy goes to place Viper on it, he nails a few back elbows to his skull and then rams his face against the stage. Andy stumbles back, then Viper grabs him by the arm and whips him face first into the stage wall, laying him out. Viper then shakes his head and waves his hands at him as he stumbles over toward the entrance ramp. The crowd boos as he crawls up onto it and then gets on his knees and looks over at Andy, who’s starting to come to. Viper gets up and then walks up the ramp and disappears behind the curtain. The referee starts to go after him, then stops and places his hands on his hips as he shakes his head.

Tex: Is Viper leaving?! Is he really just going to walk out on this match like this? This is his debut! Even the referee can’t believe Viper would do this!

Duff: You don’t understand, Tex, I think he realizes that this won’t be as easy as he thought. He’s heading for the hills! The cameras follow Viper was he walks down the stairs of the gorilla position and then towards the locker rooms. He looks behind him, making sure that Andy is not following him and then turns down a hallway. As he does, he gets nailed with a forearm shot from the running Andy, who has found another way back there. Viper falls against the wall and Andy knees him several times in the gut before grabbing his head and ramming him skull first repeatedly into the brick wall. Viper gets dazed right off and as he falls down and slumps over, Andy nods as he reaches down to grab him, but Viper manages to compose himself enough to grab Andy by his gear and pull him head first into the wall. With him shaking his head to get the cobwebs out, Viper struggles to get up and then dashes back down the hallway that he came and passes the gorilla position again, making his way back out onto the entrance ramp. Just as he does, we can hear him say a few expletives as he sees Andy climbing up a small ladder on the side of the ramp. the referee is admonishing Viper and even grabs him by the arm as he has some choice words for him.

Tex: He can’t escape Andy, Duff, everywhere he goes, Andy follows. He has to be really wondering what he has to do to get away from Andy, but I don’t think there’s anything he CAN do!

Duff: There’s nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, he has to face Andy. He needs to realize that the only way he can get out of this night and this match is by going at him head on. Nothing else is going to work. If he tries this again, the referee may even get involved to prevent it from ending that way!

Viper takes a deep breath and as Andy reaches the top, takes a running start toward him, maybe looking to knock him off, but all of a sudden when Andy gets to the top, he lowers his shoulders, lifts Viper up onto his shoulders and falls back……right through the stack of production tables! Viper leads the way through the tables as the referee calls for the bell!

Stormy Canyon: Here is your winner... ANDY MARTINDALE!!!

Winner:

The scene switches to the gym where we see Big Bad Casey. He is seen working out, posing and warming up for the triple threat match with Mr. X and Modo. He sees the camera and gives a sinister looking smirk.

Casey: Fellas, you don't know what you're in for! I am bigger and stronger than you are, which is why your going down. This match is going to be one for you to remember, I want you both to remember the beating you will take tonight. It will be my honor to destroy you both.

Casey then decides to take a drink of water. After a moment, when he has quenched his thirst, he continues.

Casey: I am going to hurt you both so bad that for the next week, you won’t remember what hit you. Once I knock you out with Power Up or choke you out with Sin City, you guys will feel like you were hit by a freight train! You will then realize that you should have not run your mouths against me. I will be the victorious one in this match and that is a promise!!!

Then the scene goes into airing the promos Big Bad Casey has done for the match in order. Then once the 3rd promo has finished, the scene changes as he walks out of the gym.

Foxxy Dreams is standing by backstage, in front of an Insomnia backdrop with Modo. they are set up for a quick interview

Foxxy: I am here with a man who has had a bit of a rollercoaster ride as of late...

Modo: OK OK...stop right there! Yes, I have had my ups and downs, yes I have been a little off the wall as of late, but that has all been well documented. Right now is not the time to talk, it is finally the time for action. that is exactly what I am Foxxy, a man of action!

Foxxy: So it should be a tough match tonight. You usually have your opponents scouted, but you can't know very much about Mr X?

Modo: No, not very much. But I know enough... and more importantly I know myself, and it is I, not he or Casey, who will make all the difference tonight!

Foxxy: Should be a good one, let's get to the action!

Vs.

Vs.

Stormy: The following triple threat contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 245 pounds…MODO!!!

The arena strobe lights span the crowd in attendance as "BYOB" by System of a Down hits the speakers. The lights flicker on and off as Modo is caught by the cameras...he is atop the rafters among his fans. He descends down through the crowd as all the people cheer him on and clap his back. Modo looks around and takes in the atmosphere before jumping the guardrail and sliding into the ring. The arena fills with smoke as Modo enters the ring and the lights come back on. Modo is in the middle of the ring with his two index fingers in the air as the fans go wild... No sooner as he puts his fingers down, his music is cut off and replaced by “Power and the Glory” by the Astral Doors. Modo snaps his head to the stage, waiting for the first of his two opponents.

Stormy: His first opponent, from Nashua, New Hampshire, weighing in at 375 pounds…BIG BAD CASEYYYY!!!

Casey emerges from the backstage area showing off a few karate stances on the stage. John and Laura come out from the back and follow Casey to the ring. Casey climbs up the steel steps and easily steps over the top of the turnbuckle, now in the ring along with Modo. John and Laura take up spots around ringside, with Laura standing back more towards the crowd barrier.

Tex: As we all know, Casey got married the other day and in a way, this is one part of his honeymoon.

Duff: He better concentrate. He doesn’t have a pushover match here. He’s not facing Jason Stevens…

Tex: I’ll agree with you on that one for a change. I’m actually surprised that you’re giving props to a newcomer and to Modo.

Duff: Modo got what he deserved at Full Throttle. He was very pissed off about it this past week. I for one like that anger coming out of him. It will really allow him to perform better. But if he continues to pander to the fans like he’s doing tonight, that won’t help him.

Tex: He did feed off the energy from this crowd though. Meanwhile the crowd is just plain out dead with the entrance of Casey.

The whisper of "I can feel it" strikes through the crowd. The lights go down, red smoke begins to build in the entrance way as the music gets louder. When “Toxic” by Crazy Town blasts Mr. X bursts through the smoke into the center of the entrance way just as Stormy’s sultry voice cuts through the din.

Stormy: And finally coming to the ring, from parts unknown, weighing in at 245 pounds, making his AWA debut…Misterrrrrr X!!!

Mr. X crosses his arms in an "X" at the top. There is a mixed reaction as he makes his way down the ramp. Mr. X jumps from the floor to the ring apron and quickly goes through the ropes. He goes from corner to corner and raises his "X" sign as Modo and Big Bad Casey take to a pair of corners. As the music of Mr. X dies and the lights return he goes into a third corner to prepare for the upcoming match.

Tex: And there’s the newcomer. We know basically nothing about him, but it’s time to find out at least something.

Duff: Masks…I hate people who wear masks…

Tex: I already know that.

The bell rings and all three competitors look towards one another. Big Bad Casey is the first to move out of his corner and he points at Modo before running right after him. Modo sidesteps the big man and Casey finds himself flipping over the top rope and off the apron, crashing to the ringside mats below. Modo just shakes his head as Modo and Mr. X go to meet in the center of the ring, getting a feel for one another to really get the action underway.

Modo and Mr. X grapple in the center of the ring, Modo gaining the early upper hand as he snaps Mr. X’s arm over. He then whips the newcomer into the ropes just as Laura is helping Casey up to his feet. Mr. X comes flying back off the ropes and Modo catches him, spins him around once then throws him to the canvas off of his left knee. Modo immediately goes for the pin as Casey gets back up onto the apron. Referee Hal Smith goes down to count the fall.

Referee Hal Smith: 1…2…

Casey throws his weight on top of the two of them causing the referee to stop counting. Casey picks himself off of his two opponents and chooses to inflict pain on Modo first. He rears back his right hand and uses his pan-shaped right hand and basically slaps the taste out of the smaller Modo. Modo coughs as Casey rears back to do it again. This time Modo drops to the canvas to avoid impact and is able to do so just in time. He grabs at Casey’s foot, but Casey hops up once and is able to get out that easily.

Tex: It’s gonna take a lot to keep Big Bad Casey down in this match. Both Modo and Mr. X I’m sure know this.

Mr. X is now back up and bumrushes the larger Casey from behind. He comes up and attempts to roll down Casey into a cover. Casey just shakes his head and drops right down onto Mr. X’s torso, seemingly deflating him like a balloon. The crowd OHs as the referee sees Mr. X’s shoulders down. He positions himself correctly before counting.

Referee Hal Smith: 1…2…

Mr. X is able to raise up his left shoulder and Casey just shakes his head.

Duff: Mr. X should have just taken that lying down and lived to fight next week. Casey’s probably just gonna end his career right on its first night!

Tex: Now all of a sudden you back him.

Duff: No, I’m just telling the people out there how it’s going down! You should try it sometime…

Modo meanwhile has been regaining his bearing and his breath but is now back up to his feet. More angry than AWA has ever seen him, he kicks Casey right in the back of the head from behind. This only angers the giant as Casey turns around. Modo is too fast for him however and locks his leg around Casey’s before leaping up a drop and hitting an inverted Russian Leg Sweep. Casey’s head falls in between the second and third rope, right in the direction of where Laura is. Before Casey can even attempt to remove himself from in-between the ropes, Modo connects with a missile dropkick that sends Casey slowly through the ropes, once again back out to the mats below. Modo spits in Casey’s direction before he turns, only to get taken down by Mr. X with a jumping leg lariat.

Tex: That’s the problem with these triple threat matches. You have to keep your eyes on BOTH of your opponents, not just one.

Duff: They have Casey out of there now though. It’s their shot to shine, for whoever wants it.

Mr. X quickly pulls Modo up from the canvas and nails him with a cradle DDT, spiking him back to the mat. He then rolls Modo over into a cover.

Referee Hal Smith: 1…2…

Modo kicks out as Mr. X doesn’t have a hold of both legs. Modo rolls away but Mr. X doesn’t allow him to get to far as he brings him back up to his feet again. Mr. X grabs for Modo’s head and goes for the Crash & Burn, but Modo ducks his head at the last moment and Mr. X gets nothing but air as he falls to the canvas. Modo leans down now and sticks his knees right in the back of Mr. X, weakening Mr. X’s back. He then pushes Mr. X forward as a distraction before quickly turning him over and locking in the STF.

Tex: STF! Mr. X might not be getting a win in his AWA debut here!

Duff: But Casey’s finally back up on the outside and here he comes into the ring.

Casey delivers a big boot to the mug of Modo, breaking the STF with ease. He then picks up Mr. X and goes to nail him with a Power Up, but Mr. X sidesteps it and Casey turns around slowly, only to be greeted by Mr. X who throws an axe kick his way which connects to Casey’s jaw. Casey is dazed as Laura looks on from the outside, worried. Modo is back up now still a bit dazed himself from Casey’s big boot but he looks off Mr. X before drilling Casey right in the jaw with a Power Up. It doesn’t pack as much punch with Modo being a smaller man but it’s enough to get Casey over to the ropes. Modo then looks at Mr. X and motions for help to dump the big man back out to the outside. The two rear up and are about to clothesline Casey over the top rope, but Mr. X changes his mind and suddenly lunges sideways, spearing Modo down to the mat. Meanwhile Casey is still shaking off the cobwebs. Laura cheers Casey on to recover, but Mr. X sees his window of opportunity against the big man now that Modo is down. He yanks the bigger man close to him than grabs his head while latching his arms in the correct position to hit the Mischiever. Mr. X has enough power behind it to drop Big Bad Casey thunderously to the mat as the crowd can be heard OH’ing again.

Duff: Wow! What a maneuver that is! I don’t think Modo will be able to recover on time to stop this pinfall.

The referee is on it right away as Mr. X throws himself over Casey’s huge frame.

Referee Hal Smith: 1…2…3!!!!!!

The bell rings bringing the official ending to the match. As “Toxic” by Crazy Town begins to play we hear Stormy Canyon’s announcement.

Stormy: Here is your winner of the match…Misterrrrrrr X!!!!!!

Mr. X stands up and has his arm raised. He celebrates and claps his hands for a few moments before he slips out of the ring and heads to the back. As he gets to halfway up the entrance ramp, Modo has stirred and is looking in the direction of Mr. X. Meanwhile John has slipped into the ring to awake Casey.

Tex: Good debut for Mr. X. I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty more from him.

Duff: Yes, hopefully without the mask. One masked man in AWA is too much as it is…

The scene in the arena fades out slowly to a commercial break…

Winner:

The roving cameraman steps into the dressing room of Bill Barnhart. Bill is already dressed in his wrestling attire for his match with Ronin. We notice that Bill is still wearing his neck brace and ankle brace but we also notice his stitches have healed quite well. Barnhart looks up into the camera to address Ronin.

Ronin…Ronin…Ronin…how are you doing tonight? Are you ready for our match? Are you sure you are ready for our match? I mean are you really, really, really sure you are ready for your match? Uh huh. Well, Ronin, remember I asked you earlier in the week if you knew if I was really injured from my match with Canis or was I just playing a head game with you? Remember I asked you if your injuries from your Buried Alive match with Fang would be healed as well as the supposed injuries I took in my Hell In A Cell match with Canis? Well we will be meeting each other in a Hells Angels Lumberjack match shortly tonight and I need to let you in on a little secret. Ronin, I really did get cut and bruised in my match with Canis. These healed cuts on my head and face are real and they have healed quite nicely. But what about the neck and ankle injuries? How extensive were they? To be honest the only reason the Paramedics put the neck brace on me was that they have to protect their butts by taking all precautions. And what about the ankle brace? Did Canis really severely injure my ankle or did I tap out to stay in good shape to go up against you tonight? Well, young man, here is your answer.

We watch as Barnhart removes the neck brace and he throws it against the wall of his dressing room. Bill then twists his neck around to show us that his neck is in great shape. Bill then reaches down and removes the ankle brace and he also throws it across the dressing room into the wall. Barnhart then stands up and starts running around the dressing room putting all his weight on his ankle. Bill ends his run with a leap into the air where he rams his foot into the coffee table knocking it over. Bill stands there looking into the camera while the cameraman goes into an extreme close-up on Bill.

Well, Ronin, what do you think now? I think you made a mistake signing this match with me. I think you now realize I pulled the ultimate deception upon you and now you are stuck with this match and you cannot get out of it even if you dropped to your knees and offered to blow Goth. I think you know that your winning streak is about to end tonight as I prove to the world what I am capable of. I sure wish I could have seen the look on your face when I revealed to you that I didn’t injure my neck and my ankle is fine. They say a picture of worth a thousand words…but the look on your face would have been priceless for me to see. Later dude!

The cameraman backs out of the dressing room and Bill closes the door after the cameraman is out in the hallway.

The scene cuts to the backstage area of the arena, where Jade Green stands in front of a large AWA banner, microphone in hand.

Jade: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here live at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, and we’re just moments away from an exclusive interview you will only be able to see here.

Frenzied chants and cheering can be heard from the fans within the arena.

Jade: Last week at Full Throttle, the war between the Family and the Rebellion took a major turn, as not only was Ronin able to retain the International Championship against Jonathan Porter, but the Universal Championship now rests in their hands, as well, after Metamania defeated Marissa Swanson in a brutal Ladder Match!

As if on cue, Metamania and Ronin step into the frame, each man holding their championship belt over their shoulder. The buzz of the fans within the arena causes the camera to shake as the two men step onto the scene.

Jade: And here they are now!

The two men nod in greeting to Jade and toward the camera. Ronin stands to the left of Jade as Metamania circles behind her to stand at her right. Slowly, the crowd noise begins to die off, and Jade turns first to Metamania as she begins to speak

Jade: First of all, congratulations on your victory over Marissa Swanson.

Metamania: Thank you very much, Jade! It was a victory well worth savoring and it will be a victory that a lot of people will be talking about for awhile. I’m very glad to have finally ended her pathetic, deluded reign and expose the truth of her façade. As far as I’m concerned, her time with the Universal championship is over and I’ll be here for a good long while with the championship. Hopefully, if all goes well, I’ll be passing her streak and her time with it, effectively wiping out the horrid stain she’s had over the belt for a long time. It’s a new start for me and I’m looking forward to it with much enthusiasm, Jade! That said, what’s on your mind Jade?

Jade: Finally after nearly two months, the Rebellion has fulfilled its promise to strip the Family of their championship gold. Now that both titles are firmly in the hands of the Rebellion, what does that mean for you going forward?

Ronin reaches over and gently grabs Jade’s hand, pulling the microphone towards him.

Ronin: Jade, it’s very simple. The Family has been a plague on this organization for too long, now. They’ve become little more than an infection. We are the cure. You see, now that the payoffs to Asylum referees has been called out and ended, their grip on these titles and the company itself has been loosened. The wound has been sutured. Now it’s simply a matter of letting the antibiotics take their course, killing off the infection and allowing the wound to heal. That’s where we come in.

Ronin motions toward Metamania, and Jade turns to face the Universal Champion.

Metamania: Ronin’s right. They have indeed been a virus that has been spreading around the Asylum Wrestling Alliance for a long time. We are the cure to that disease. They thought they could bully us around with ease, but we understand that power, men like Ronin and I, along with the others from Rebellion. Our job, as we move forward, is to make sure that we punish The Family for the crimes that they have committed and we will not back down until balance is restored! Jade turns back to face the camera.

Jade: Apparently it’s been mentioned several times on our website that there is a possibility that you two may be forced to face each other at some point. Asylum champions have faced off several times, and the fact that you are stablemates will bring no exception. What do you have to say to this speculation?

Metamania takes a step forward, and Jade puts the microphone to his mouth.

Metamania: I am not worried in the slightest. Ronin and I have become good friends since we met in The Rebellion and we have worked together successfully as a team in the past to demolish Chase and Marissa, putting them in their place not too long ago. If we were to clash in the ring together, that’s fine by me. After all, if Goth sets up a match like that, his only intention is to see if The Rebellion can turn on each other. I can assure you, Jade, that nothing of the sort will happen. Ronin and I will do our jobs and not complain. Champions are supposed to take everything in stride and I feel that Ronin will push me to the limit, as will I. Then, after the match is done,. I may as well get a glass of water or milk to celebrate while Ronin has a beer. It will be all good, so I say to that speculation – bring it on! It won’t matter to either of us, Jade, for we’ll get the job done without any problems to worry about in the end! Jade turns to Ronin, speaking to him directly.

Jade: And what are your thoughts on the matter?

Ronin: I really don’t have anything to add, Jade. The fact of the matter is that we’re both professionals doing a job. If we’re forced to lock horns, then we’ll do it, and we’ll do it well. That’s what being a champion is all about. You do what you have to do, and you don’t let anything stand in your way.

Jade: If I may change the subject for just a moment, Ronin, you’re set to take on the Family’s “Bulldog” Bill Barnhart tonight in a Biker Match. Do you have any final thoughts on that match?

Ronin: I’ve said just about all I care to about this match. Considering the antics he’s pulled this week, I’m beginning to wonder if maybe his match with Canis resulted in some kind of brain damage.
But I’m not stupid enough to discount him just because I don’t understand his mental faculties. He already showed that he’s willing to take as much punishment as he is to deal out. I saw that for myself at Full Throttle. However, this isn’t a Hardcore Match. It’s not anything goes. The only obstacle in this match is the Hell’s Angels outside the ring to make sure we stay inside. You take them away and you’re left with just a standard match. His record against the Rebellion is piss poor, as I’ve already pointed out, and I really don’t think that just because he bought a winning lottery ticket that his luck’s going to change against me tonight.

Jade turns back to face the camera, looking at both men.

Jade: Gentlemen, before we get back to the action in the arena, do either of you have any final words?

Ronin turns to face Jade.

Ronin: The bottom line, Jade, is that the Family’s been hurt. Finally, they’ve been forced to stand against a group who’s not going to tuck tail and run, and they don’t know how to deal with it. Soon enough, the final blow will come. When Canis and Goth step into the ring, the AWA will have a new owner, and things will finally be put right. Until then, it’s up to us to keep the wolves away from the door, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Metamania: What we have in store for The Family is going to be a surprise for all. I am looking forward to seeing Canis locking horns with Goth for total control of the AWA and when Canis wins, all the things that we had before will be put back into place. Never again will The Family be converging on us like a pack of wolves, for those same wolves, as Ronin described, will be forced to run away in terror and lick their wounds, once and for all realizing that The Rebellion is the stronger faction than The Family will ever be and proving to the world that they are no longer the uncontested predators that they had been before. Jade: Well, gentlemen, thank you very much for you time, and good luck tonight.

Ronin: Thank you, Jade.

Metamania: Thank you very much, Jade, for your time! As the two men step out of the frame, Jade turns to face the camera.

Jade: There you have it. Metamania and Ronin, the Asylum Wrestling Alliance’s champions, and their exclusive interview here on Monday Night Insomnia!

The scene fades to black as we cut back to the arena.

Vs.

Stormy Canyon: The following match is scheduled for one fall and will be a Biker Match, having Hell Angels as lumberjacks. Introducing first weighing in at 240 pounds, from Oakland, California. He is representing The Family……Bill “Bulldog” Barnhart.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speakers. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to several clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains. Bill comes out dressed in his Dark Pink Business Suit with Light Pink Shirt and Dark Pink Tie. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill. Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring, then he removes is suit jacket, tie and shirt, and his suit pants, to reveal his wrestling attire. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.

Tex: Barnhart continues his one man mission against The Rebellion.

Duff: It doesn’t seem like much of a mission, he hasn’t been winning a lot. But this match could be a huge strike against them, if he can manage to defeat and maybe injure Ronin.

Stormy Canyon: And his opponent also weighing in at 240 pounds from Nashville. Tennessee. He represents The Rebellion and is the current International Champion, Ronin. The lights in the arena go out and the crowd begins to buzz in anticipation as 'Violence Fetish’ by Disturbed begins to play over the PA system. The opening riff slowly grows louder, causing the entire building to rumble…

"Bring the violence,
it's significant
to the life if you've ever known anyone.
Bring the violence,
it's significant
to the life can you feel it?
Oh ow, ow!"
A thunderous explosion rocks the arena as fireworks and pyrotechnics fill the entrance area. As the smoke clears, Ronin and Ilati step through the haze onto the entrance ramp to a jumbled chorus of cheers and chants, the International Championship belt shining around Ronin's waist. They walk to the bottom of the ramp and stop.
Ronin holds the International Title over his head as another pop of pyro goes off behind him.
He smiles ear-to-ear as he slowly walks toward the ring, chanting and high-fiving along with the fans on his way. He hands the International Title to Ilati, leaving her to stand outside the ring as he slides under the bottom rope and begins to circle the ring in anticipation.

Duff: The International Champion, Ronin. He is looking quite confident tonight.

Tex: Why shouldn’t he be? Coming off a big win at Full Throttle. And I feel like this match will be favoring him.

Both men stand in the ring staring at each other, when through the arena you can hear motors reving. The sound begins to grow as a wave of Hells Angels come out on their bikes. They park them at the top of the ramp and walk to the ring. As they begin to surround the ring Barnhart watches them, Ronin takes advantage and jumps Barnhart from behind. Ronin hits some hard forearm shots to Barnhart’s back . Barnhart turns around and battles back with some hard rights and lefts. He sneaks a hard upper cut to Ronin’s throat to catch him off guard and hurls Ronin over the top rope. Ronin is immediately caught in mid air by some of the Angels and they toss him back in the ring quickly.

Tex: Well the Hell Angels doing their job well so far.

Duff: But you have to wonder, these guys aren’t known for being rule enforcers.

Barnhart meets Ronin with hard stomps as soon as he’s back in the ring. Barnhart lifts his opponent to his feet and delivers a hard knee to the gut. He shoots Ronin into the ropes, Ronin bounce back straight into an elbow under the jaw. Bulldog goes for the quick cover, one….tw…Ronin kicks out. Barnhart jumps back on Ronin, but hooks the legs and tries to put all his weight on Ronin’s shoulders, one….two…th..Ronin kicks out again. Barnhart rolls back to is feet, he grabs Ronin by the nape of his neck and begins to pull him to his feet. Ronin low blows Barnhart. Barnhart bends over and Ronin pushes him through the ropes and into the Hell’s Angels. They allow Barnhart to fall to the floor and then they jump on him, stomping away at the prone Bulldog. The referee yells for them to throw him back in, but they aren’t listening.

Tex: You called it seems the Angels do have an agenda.

Duff: We knew this would happen eventually and there’s nothing the official can do, it’s all legal.

Finally, the Angels roll a battered Barnhart back in. Ronin drags him to the center of the ring and covers one…two…thr…Barnhart’s shoulder shoots off the mat. Ronin wastes no time and brings him back to his feet. He picks Barnhart up for a huge atomic drop, then he launches himself off the ropes and hits a huge clothesline. Ronin looks to another side of the ring and he yells to those Angels who nod their heads. Ronin picks Barnhart up and hurls him over the top rope. Again they let him hit the hard ground before pouncing like a pack of lions. When the cameras can finally get through the mess of bikers, Barnhart has been opened up. They again roll him into the ring, where Ronin goes for a cover. One….two….thre….Barnhart kicks out, but it is a weak one. Ronin points to another side of the ring and yells for those Angels to get ready. He picks the bleeding Barnhart up and attempts to throw him by the back of his neck, but Barnhart grabs the ropes and blocks the throw. Ronin tries to over power Bill and go for the throw again, but he will not be budged. Barnhart back elbows Ronin, hard and he shoots Ronin into the ropes. Ronin bounces back and Barnhart delivers a huge back body drop that sends him over the top rope. The Angels try to catch him, but Ronin crashes into them and the guard rail.

Duff: That’s one way to take care of Angels problem.

Tex: Barnhart just will not give up. The blood is dripping into his eyes, but he is a man on a mission.

Barnhart rolls out, a few Angels try to attack him but he nails them with hard rights and lefts knocking them down one by one, until he can throw Ronin in himself. Barnhart slides in before more Angels can attack him. He brings a groggy Ronin to his feet and picks him straight up in a vertical suplex. Barnhart holds him for a few moments, he then drops Ronin in a hard brain buster. Bulldog wipes the blood from his eyes as he takes a moment to yell at the Hell’s Angels. Barnhart stalks around and it looks like he is calling for the end. He picks up Ronin, who is still holding his head, Bill whips him into the corner. He comes in with a hard elbow to the throat. Bill delivers his patented chops and grabs Ronin by the skull. He raises an arm, but as he goes for the Bulldog, one of the Angels grabs Ronin’s foot. Bill jumps forward, but Ronin doesn’t come with him. He lands hard on his tailbone.

Tex: That biker just saved this match. No way Ronin gets up from that Bulldog.

Duff: Maybe they should be Ronin’s Angels.

Tex: Yeah, or not.

Bulldog jumps back up to his feet furious. He runs over and begins screaming at the biker who is yelling back and just smiling. Behind Barnhart’s back one of the Angels hands Ronin a chain, he wraps it around his fist. The referee is trying to break up the dispute between the biker and Barnhart. Barnhart turns around and goes to pick up Ronin, but Ronin throws off Bill’s hands and uppercuts Bill with the chain in his hand. Bill staggers semi-concious, Ronin takes the opportunity an quickly hits The Burn. The referee turns around in time for Ronin covering Barnhart, one…two…three. The bell rings. Ronin slides out, he grabs his championship and stumbles through the bikers and up the ramp. Barnhart lays in the ring with blood still covering his face.

Tex: Barnhart was so close. Even with all the interference from the biker’s Bill Barnhart almost picked up a huge win.

Duff: Almost, isn’t winning. And Bill Barnhart continues his losing one man war with The Rebellion.

Stormy Canyon: Here is your winner…….RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN!!!!

Winner:

The camera pans to a large area somewhere backstage, showing members of staff and wrestlers hanging around and talking. The next shot cuts into Metamania, currently dressed in his wrestling gear, with the Universal title on his left shoulder. He looks at the camera, holding the belt with pride as he smirks beneath the mask.

Metamania: Man, I swear. This is definitely one of the greatest feelings alive for me. But I don't know how long it will last but I will enjoy the ride. However, what will not last for eternity is The Family and and we, as in The Rebellion, are putting the screws to them each and every week. If anything, Full Throttle proved a point - that we can last against anybody that The Family throws us. This week, I will do my best to keep that point intact and if not, I'll even make a bigger statement next week! It doesn't matter, either way. To be honest with you, I'm sick and tired of having to deal with The Family and their petty issues and drama, not to mention their hate against us. That's why I'm here, along with my friends from The Rebellion - to thwart their efforts and to make sure that there's a positive change for us all involved. But people like Marissa Swanson and Chase Tomlin do not want that - they want everything to be handled The Family way. To them, it's either their way or the highway! Well, I won't be buying that pathetic, unreasonable logic anytime soon! So tell me, Goth, was this your master plan all along? You wanted me punished because I took away one of the few significant objects that mattered to you - the Universal championship? The competition, while tough and grueling, can be overcome if you believe in yourself, Goth, and you can't stop a man like me, someone that has believed in himself from the beginning, title or no title. See, even if I don't have the championship around the waist, I'm still championship material, not just by me, but by the faithful fans as well. The fans always love a man that is the underdog that can overcome all obstacles. Sometimes, it doesn't work out that way, but that's ok - I'm still beloved all over the world while people like Marissa and Chase are sent to the bottom of the barrel and are forced to claw their way out! You want to keep on doubting me and my word? That's fine by me, kids, because I'll be glad to teach you both a lesson one more time! First, I'll deal with Marissa Swanson and put an end to her pathetic, troublesome misery and hopefully, we will NEVER have to deal with her or her stupid, ugly mentor of hers, Stacy Kissenger, both women who want nothing but to hog the spotlight, giving a damn for no one but themselves! As for Chase? As I mentioned before, he's one tough son of a gun, but after I hopefully destroy him this week and annihilate him the next, he'll be nothing more but a stepping stone to my everlasting legacy. This is not gloating, this is not bragging - these are the facts and I have fulfilled my destiny. None of you realize it - but I still have a lot of energy left in this tank and even if I lose or if I draw or even I win, I'm not going ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON! Your Universal champion, THE ONE AND ONLY, is here to stay and there's not a damn thing that either you two or the rest of The Family can do about it! See you both nutcases in the ring!

He grins like a Cheshire cat before walking out of the picture, to his right, as the scene fades into a commercial for the next big PPV.

A camera turns on backstage to show Marissa Swanson’s arms flailing back and forth as she heads closer and closer to where the arena is in the building. She stops though when she sees Stacy Kissinger up ahead, walking out of a room and slamming the door very hard. Marissa quickens her pace and within seconds she’s in front of her mentor, asking her a question.

Marissa: What happened in there Stacy?

Stacy: I’m just gonna say that the AWA Public Relations board is gonna have a FIELD DAY with that man! Anyways, don’t worry ‘bout it Marissa. Let me deal with it. Ya already have enough on yer plate as it is. Just do me a favah.

Marissa: Lemme guess. Go on out there alongside Chase and really put the hurting on that runny pathetic runt that isn’t what he says he is?

Stacy: Exactly. Ya sure have learned much in a short span of time Marissa. Despite what befell ya at Full Throttle last week, I’m VERY proud of ya. Yer gonna go very far in this business, unlike somebody else…

Stacy turns back and looks at the door, but the camera can’t catch the nameplate on the door as the cameraman is at a bad angle for that now, being that he’s concentrated on the two young ladies that are in conversation.

Marissa: Thanks Stacy. Well, I’m off to do my job and I’m gonna enjoy every single second of it, as will Chase I’m sure.

Marissa moves on down the hallway, the gleam of the AWA Red Carpet Championship being captured by every light she passes. Meanwhile back by the door is Stacy Kissinger, still shaking her head before she says…

Stacy: Live it up and tempt the referees with the cash while ya can. The Rebellion will soon be done fer. As fer you, ya won’t touch a single penny of AWA’s money very, very soon…

The camera looks to the door now to read on the nameplate: CFO John Irons. The scene then fades back out to the arena…

Vs.

The crowd buzzes with anticipation as the camera focuses on Tex Martin and Duff Travers.

Tex: We’ve seen a lot of action here tonight, and now it’s time to cap it off!

Duff: That’s right! We’re just moments away from tonight’s main event!

Tex: Our new Universal Champion is set to take on both Chase Tomlin and Marissa Swanson in a Handicap Match!

Duff: He’s going to pay for that little stunt his Rebellion buddies pulled at Full Throttle!

Tex: Oh, please. Like the Family’s completely innocent.

The camera cuts to the center of the ring where Stormy Canyon stands with a microphone in hand.

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, this match falls under Handicap rules, and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, standing 5’5, hailing from Franklin, Tennessee, she is the former Universal Champion…Marissa Swanson!!!

Entrance The sound of cameras flashing can be heard as the AWA jumbotron lights up to show Marissa standing on a red carpet, her AWA Red Carpet Championship strapped around her waist. The scene zooms out a bit to show that she's surrounded by cameramen. A reporter ducks in through the cameramen and reach Marissa to ask her a question.

Reporter: So what happens now Miss Swanson?

Marissa continues to stand there and look very pretty.

Reporter: Marissa? What's your answer?

Marissa: I'll be fine. As for the Rebellion, in the end, they won't be. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take care of business.

Reporter: Well you heard it here folks! Marissa Swanson heads your way via the red carpet and she's all business today.

The scene on the jumbotron fades as the beginning of "Party In The USA" by Miley Cyrus begins to play. Shots of Marissa growing up on the jumbotron fade in and out until Marissa Swanson appears from out of the backstage area, the beautiful AWA Red Carpet Championship belt strapped around her waist, making her really stand out. She stands on the stage for a few seconds soaking in her surroundings before making her move down the wrestler ramp towards the ring. Any fans that are nice to wave at her or blow a kiss to her catches her attention and she gives them one back. As she gets to the ring, she climbs up the steel steps and up to the top rope. Meanwhile on the jumbotron, some shots of Marissa having fun at the beach play. All the men hoot and holler as Marissa now does a picture-perfect backflip off the top rope. As Marissa puts her arms up into the air, the fun beach pictures fade and are replaced with Marissa hitting her patented Swan Dive on several opponents. She stares at them smirking before pulling her arms back down. She then heads to her corner to await the beginning of the match.

Stormy: And her partner, standing 6”6 and hailing from Parts Unknown, he is the former AWA International Champion…Chase Tomlin!!!

The lights in the arena dim and turn to a crimson hue as the heavy riff of the opening of "Death Blooms" by Mudvayne begins to play through the speakers. The fans begin to boo as a small flame circles the center of the stage. A few moments pass before the music intensifies, causing the flames to rocket into the air. As the flames begin to die down, Chase Tomlin stands in the center of the small flames, looking around the crowd. Chase smirks slyly before stepping through the flames and making his way into the blood red spotlight and making his way down to the ring. At the bottom of the ramp, Chase walks around the ring to the steel steps, slowly stepping up one at a time before slowly pacing across the apron, taking a moment to look into the crowd with disgust before climbing between the ropes and making his way to his croner as the lights return to normal. Chase removes his trenchcoat and drapes it across the top rope as the music fades out.

Stormy: And their opponent, standing 5’6” and hailing from New York City, he is the reigning AWA Universal Champion…The One and Only…Metamania!!!

The sounds of an alarm, along with gunfire, blare over the speakers as does the whirling of helicopter blades before the guitars and drums kick off Disturbed's Indestructible. As Metamania steps out from behind the curtain and stands at the center of the top of the ramp, two pyros, from each side, blast a few times. Freya, dressed in her sexy wrestling outfit, walks over to her man, standing next to him and the two take each other's hand and start walking down the ramp aisle. They break off so that they can greet the fans with handshakes, high fives, and smiles, the crowd happy to see Metamania as they roar loudly. As they reach ringside, Metamania jumps on the apron side of the ring, then sits on the bottom rope while pulling the top rope up, looking at his wife, smiling widely. Freya returns his smile with her own as she steps through the ropes, then Metamania follows suit. The One And Only walks over to both Stormy Canyon and the referee, shaking their hands and greeting them with his trademark smile. Then he walks over to the center of the ring, faces down the camera looking back at him, and raises his right hand in the air, immediately clenching his fist. The arena lights go off as green pyro shoots from all four corners of the ring four times. The song then fades away, the lights go back up, and Freya grabs her man and kisses him passionately before the couple break it off. She then exits the ring, lands on the concrete floor, and watches her man closely.
The moment Fraya steps out of the ring, Metamania is pummeled with kicks and punches from Chase and Marissa. They force him into a corner, beating him without mercy as the fans boo loudly.

Tex: Oh, come on! Let the man get in the ring for God’s sake!

Duff: They did! Weren’t you watching?

Tex: You know what I meant!

Metamania scrambles to his feet as referee Chip Long steps in to separate the three competitors, sending Marissa Swanson out of the ring as the timekeeper rings the bell. Metamania and Chase Tomlin circle the ring as the match officially begins. Tomlin smiles as he stalks the champion around the ring, towering over the smaller man. He throws out a jab with his left hand, which Metamania easily ducks. He throws another, taunting the champion, yelling at him to fight. He throws one more mocking jab, and Metamania ducks it and delivers a short Drop Kick to Tomlin’s knees! The crowd erupts with cheers as Tomlin drops to the canvas, holding his leg. Metamania leans back on the ropes, bouncing off of them and rushing across the ring, landing with a Leg Drop across Tomlin’s neck! Chase convulses with the impact, sitting up quickly and holding his throat as he gasps for air. Metamania crosses the ring once more, dropping Tomlin with a kick to the jaw!

Tex: The Universal Champion’s wasting no time taking control!

Duff: Come on, Chase! Get up!

The crowd is cheering wildly as Metamania grabs Chase and hauls him to his feet. Metamania whips Chase into the corner, taking off and looking for a Clothesline, but Marissa Swanson pushes Chase out of the way, and Metamania collides with the turnbuckle, falling backwards to the mat.

Duff: Yeah! Now THAT’S team work!

Chase gets to his feet and stomps Metamania repeatedly. He picks the champion up, dragging him to the corner and tags in Marissa Swanson. Marissa climbs the turnbuckle as Chase keeps Metamania in place. She launches herself from the top rope, connecting with a Drop Kick! Chase climbs out of the ring as Marissa picks up the champion, rocking him with a series of right hands! A kick to the mid-section doubles Metamania over, and she plants him on the canvas with a DDT! She rolls him onto his back and goes for a quick pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Metamania easily gets his shoulder up. Marissa turns to referee Long, scowling and complaining that his count was too slow. She turns her attention back to Metamania, picking him up and whipping him into the ropes. Metamania ducks a Clothesline and bounces off the ropes again, jumping and planting Marissa with a Tornado DDT! Metamania scrambles to his feet and runs to the corner, rocking Chase Tomlin with a forearm and knocking him from the ring apron as the crowd erupts! He quickly covers Marissa and goes for the pin.
ONE!
T…
Marissa kicks out easily. Metamania picks Marissa up by her hair, dragging her to the corner and driving her head into the turnbuckle repeatedly as the crowd counts along.
ONE…TWO…THREE…FOUR…FIVE…SIX…SEVEN…
Metamania releases Marissa and she falls to the mat. Metamania bounces off the ropes, only to be tripped by Chase Tomlin from the outside of the ring! As referee Long shouts at Chase to take his place back in the corner, Marissa drags Metamania to the ropes, placing his neck across the bottom rope and choking him with her boot.

Tex: Come on! She can’t do that!

Duff: It’s not her fault the referee’s not doing his job.

Tex: Shut up, Duff! This is ridiculous!

Marissa releases her hold on Metamania as Chase returns to the corner. Referee Long turns back to the in-ring competitors to see Marissa pick up Metamania. She sets him up for a Piledriver, but as she hoists him into the air, Metamania wraps his legs around Marissa’s head and takes her down with a Frankensteiner as the crowd erupts! Hooking Marissa’s legs, he goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Chase Tomlin launches himself into the ring, stomping on Metamania and breaking up the attempt. Referee Long gets Chase back in his corner as Marissa and Metamania lay on the canvas, breathing heavily. Marissa gains her feet first, stumbling into her corner and tagging in Chase Tomlin to the loud disapproval of the fans. Chase wastes no time, launching himself across the ring and swinging his arms wildly, looking to take Metamania’s head off! The champion ducks the sloppy attack, grabbing Chase’s head and planting him with a Bulldog!

Tex: Maybe now the Universal Champion can get some offense going!

Duff: You’re such a kiss ass.

Tex: Oh, shut up.

Chase rolls onto his back and Metamania runs toward the ropes, jumping off the middle rope and connecting with a Frog Splash! Hooking Chase’s legs, he goes for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Marissa kicks Metamania hard, sending him rolling away from Chase and through the ropes, landing hard on the floor outside the ring.

Tex: This doesn’t look good for Metamania

Marissa and Chase slide out of the ring to pursue Metamania as referee Long begins the count.
ONE…TWO…
Chase holds the champion as Marissa unloads with a series of right hands! Marissa backs off and Chase picks up Metamania in a Gorilla Press, holding the smaller man over his head.
THREE…FOUR…
Chase walks toward the guard rail with the champion overhead, dropping him onto the guardrail! The crowd reacts with a loud “Oh!” as the crack of bone on steel echoes in the arena.
FIVE…SIX…
Marissa picks up Metamania as the crowd boos loudly, motioning for Chase to get back in the ring. He looks at her smiling for a moment before turning and climbing back into the ring. With a loud grunt, Marissa throws Metamania into the steel ring steps!

Tex: Someone’s going to have to stop this!

Marissa slides into the ring, quickly ascending the top turnbuckle.

Tex: Oh, God! Tell me she’s not doing what I think she is!

Duff: Do it, Marissa! Take him out! SWAN DIVE!!!

SEVEN…EIGHT…
Marissa jumps from the top rope, aiming to hit Metamania with a Swan Dive! Without warning, Metamania rolls to the side, and Marissa crashes hard on the concrete floor!

Duff: No!!! She’s dead! She’s dead!,p> Tex: I can’t believe what we just saw! How the hell did Metamania get out of the way?

Duff: Who cares! Can’t you see Marissa’s hurt!

Metamania rolls into the ring, finally breaking the count. He quickly gets to his feet, staggering back and leaning on the ropes. Chase stands there for a moment, watching with concern etched on his face as Marissa lies on the outside of the ring, holding her neck and writhing in pain. Seeing the medical staff making their way to the ring, Chase’s concern is replaced with rage, and he charges at Metamania! He swings wildly with Clothesline, but the champion ducks and circles behind Chase. The bigger man stalks Metamania across the ring as the medical team loads Marissa onto a stretcher. Catching a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, Chase spares a second for one final gaze. Metamania capitalizes, rushing forward and rocking Chase with a forearm! Chase staggers back as Metamania continues to lay into him with right hands. He whips Chase into the ropes, sending him spinning to the mat with a Hurricanrana! Scrambling to cover the bigger man, he goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THR…NO!
Chase barely beats the count, shoving the smaller man off of him with a loud grunt. Metamania gets to his feet first, crossing the ring toward Chase as the Dark Angel gets to one knee. As Metamania draws near, Chase doubles him over with a low blow! Getting to his feet, Chase knocks Metamania to the mat with a Mongolian Chop! He picks the smaller man up, hoisting him into the air.

Duff: Yes! Yes! Here it comes!

Metamania kicks wildly as he’s held across Chase’s shoulders, but it’s not enough! Smiling to the crowd, Chase plants Metamania with the Apocalypse Plunge! The crowd erupts with boos as Chase goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Chase slowly gets to his feet as the timekeeper rings the bell. Duff: He did it! He did it! Hahaha!

Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, CHASE TOMLIN!!!

Referee Long moves to hold Chase’s hand up in victory, but Chase shrugs him off, climbing out of the ring and heading to the back.

Tex: It was a hell of a match, folks. The Universal Champion put up a great fight, but in the end the numbers just took too much out of him, and he couldn’t pull it off.

Duff: Who cares about him! What about Marisssa? Is she alright?

Tex: There’s no word yet on Marissa Swanson’s condition, although we do know she has been loaded into an ambulance and taken off site for emergency treatment.

Duff: Oh, no! Hold on, Marissa! I’ll be there soon!

Tex: You’re really pathetic sometimes, you know that?,p> Fraya climbs into the ring and helps Metamania to his feet. The crowd is on its feet, cheering and clapping as the two exit the ring. The show fades out as the two walk up the ramp, arm in arm.
